With heavyweight Ben Rothwell forced to withdraw from a planned meeting with Travis Browne, welterweights DaMarques Johnson (16-10 MMA, 4-4 UFC) and Mike Swick (14-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) have been been promoted to UFC on FOX 4’s main card.

As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) previously reported, an ankle injury forced Rothwell off the card, and while UFC officials were reportedly pursuing Devin Cole as a replacement opponent, Browne was ultimately pulled from the card instead.

UFC officials today announced the plans and confirmed the promotion of Johnson vs. Swick.

UFC on FOX 4 takes place Aug. 4 at Staples Center in Los Angeles with a light heavyweight main event between Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Brandon Vera. The night’s four-fight main card airs on FOX, and preliminary-card bouts air on FUEL TV and stream on Facebook.

Swick fights for the first time in 31 months due to illness and injuries that have plagued his career. The American Kickboxing Academy fighter and “The Ultimate Fighter 1″ cast member was a middleweight contender before he dropped to welterweight, where he most recently suffered back-to-back losses to Dan Hardy and Paulo Thiago. He takes on Johnson, a “TUF 9″ runner-up who’s alternated between wins and losses over his past six fights. Most recently, he suffered a submission defeat to John Maguire at UFC on FUEL TV 2.

A total of 26 fighters got their chance to shine on Saturday as part of UFC 190 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. Now that UFC 190 is in the books, it’s time to commence MMAjunkie’s “Three Stars” ceremony.

The man known for cranking submissions to the point of injury added eye-gouging to his repertoire. But is the controversy of Rousimar Palhares too essential to his bizarre, awful appeal for his employers to take any meaningful action against him?
